So I’m really digging have a set of 1200’s.
For those of you that don’t speak DJ, that means I like my Technic 1200 Turntables. I need a better mixer though, and some scratch records. Maybe Ebay would be a good choice.
Anyhow, I went shopping for some vinyl the other day at Lou’s Record Store in Encinitas. It’s primarily a punk rock record shop but they do have a decent selection of hip hop stuff. So after digging through the racks, here’s what I pulled out for the collection of crates….
Funkadelic – Maggot Brain
The Roots – Home Grown Beginners Guide
Pete Rock – We Roll
Ike Turner & The Kings of Rhythm – A Black Mans Soul
Common – Announcement
The Roots – Game Theory
De La Soul – Impossible Mission TV Series – Respect
Common – Be
Common – Finding Forever
Bootsy Collins – Stretching It Out – Bootsy’s Rubber Band
Michael Franti & Spearhead – All Rebel Rockers
Funkadelic – 4 Men With Beards
Anybody notice the recurring trend?
Dude, Lou’s Records is wicked awesome. They have freaking EVERYTHING.

Hey Mo, I like your funk picks. What, no Jam band picks like the Dead and Phish?
Just kidding. I’m actually surprised you dig vinyl. I grew up
with vinyl. CD’s and DVD’s suck. Vinyl actually makes you do the work,enjoy it and have a real listening experience.
All that’s missing is a $40 dollar ounce of good “Acapulco Gold”. I went back to 1978 there for a second.
Party,Have a good time, and work doing what you love and help others as well.
here’s the recurring them and it’s true of my entire record collection, not just these ones I bought.
I don’t have a single record by a “White Guy”.
Go figure!
It seems pretty “common” dude… uh…
Yes my friend, Vinyl is the bomb!
3 reasons to go vinyl… scratch, mix, or a very good ear.
